Do the Thing…
...Plus a Senior Discount! Almost everyone I know has something they wish to do, but keep putting it off. Yesterday, I did one of those things and it was magical! I have been putting off going to Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House for years now. I first realized it was about an hour from where I... Continue Reading →
Seasons Change and So Do I
As I opened my blinds this morning to see our first snowfall of the season, I couldn't help but think "How perfect!" And I meant it! This snowfall is a winter preview.

Llama in Las Vegas
This will definitely not be one of my most popular posts, opinion-wise. I'm okay with that. Vegas. There are about 20 years between my first and last visit to Las Vegas. The first time was a trip I had won through work. I took my best friend and as a broke single mom, I was... Continue Reading →
